GOOGLE? what page?

umm i live in the cayman islands and have never heard of a cayman shark. all we got here is salt water and afew freshwater ponds but theres no sharks in em. we got oceanic white tips and hmmaerheads on the reef...

bugger, its a long list if any1 has any clue to the name, can they post up?? ta
kev

edit: yep, looking to buy 2 of them.. and yep, i know that the tank size is gonna be big.. im looking at a starting tank of 6 x 4 x 3 foot... i have two options.. either buy 1 ( i know a place in cornwall ) or make 1 myself.... i`m a carpenter and i do a lot of glazing, so can get any size and type of glass i want, plus i do lots of metalwork in my spare time in different projects, so i`ve kinda planned a really nice tank ......
